Maintenance and Administration Subsystem

The Maintenance and Administration Subsystem (MAS) is the central management point for theEAGLE 5. The MAS provides user interface, maintenance communication, peripheral services, alarmprocessing, system disk interface, and measurements. Management and redundancy are provided byuse of two separate subsystem processors.

The MAS resides on two separate sets of Maintenance and Administration Subsystem Processor(MASP) cards and a Maintenance Disk and Alarm card (collectively referred to as control cards). Thecontrol cards are located in slots 1113 through 1118 of the EAGLE 5 control shelf. The control cardsmust be E5-based cards.

E5-based Control Cards

The E5-based set of EAGLE 5 control cards consists of the following cards:

Two Maintenance and Administration Subsystem Processor cards (E5-MASP) cards. Each dual-slotE5-MASP card is made up of the following two modules:

Maintenance Communication Application Processor (E5-MCAP) card Terminal Disk Module (E5-TDM) card

One Maintenance Disk and Alarm card (E5-MDAL card)

Maintenance Communication Application Processor (E5-MCAP) Card

The E5-MCAP card contains the Communications Processor and Applications Processor and providesconnections to the IMT bus. The card controls the maintenance and database administration activityand performs both application and communication processing. E5-MCAP cards are located in slots1113 and 1115 of the control shelf.

Each E5-MCAP card contains two USB ports. One latched USB port is used with removable flashmedia (thumb drives), and one flush-mounted USB port is used with a plug-in flash drive. The



https://secure.tekelec.com/OA_HTML/ibuhpage.jsp

removable media drive in the latched USB port is used to install and back up customer data. Theflush-mounted USB port is used for upgrade and could be used for disaster recovery.

Terminal Disk Module (E5-TDM) Card

The E5-TDM card provides the Terminal Processor for the 16 I/O ports, and interfaces to theMaintenance Disk and Alarm (E5-MDAL) card and fixed disk storage. The E5-TDM card also distributesComposite Clocks and High Speed Master clocks throughout the EAGLE 5, and distributes Shelf IDto the EAGLE 5. Each E5-TDM card contains one fixed SATA drive that is used to store primary andbackup system databases, measurements, and Generic Program Loads (GPLs). E5-TDM cards arelocated in slots 1114 and 1116 of the control shelf.

Maintenance Disk and Alarm (E5-MDAL) Card

The E5-MDAL card processes alarm requests and provides fan control. There is only one E5-MDALcard in a control card set. Critical, major, and minor system alarms are provided for up to 6 individualframes. In addition to the 3 system alarms, the E5-MDAL card provides the system audible alarm.The E5-MDAL card provides control of fans on a per-frame basis, and allows for each fan relay to beset individually. The E5-MDAL card is located in slots 1117 and 1118 of the control shelf.

EAGLE 5 ISS Database Partitions

The data that the EAGLE 5 uses to perform its functions are stored in two separate areas: the fixeddisk drives, and the removable cartridge. The following sections describe these areas and data that isstored on them. These areas and their partitions are shown in Figure 1: EAGLE 5 ISS Database Partitions(E5-Based Control Cards).



Figure 1: EAGLE 5 ISS Database Partitions (E5-Based Control Cards)

Fixed Disk Drive

There are two fixed disk drives on the EAGLE 5. The fixed disk drives contain the master set of dataand programs for the EAGLE 5. The two fixed disk drives are located on the terminal disk modules(E5-TDMs). Both disks have the same files. The data stored on the fixed disks is partially replicatedon the various cards in the EAGLE 5. Changes made during database administration sessions are sentto the appropriate cards.

The data on the fixed disks can be viewed as four partitions.

Current partition



Backup partition

Measurements partition

Generic program loads (GPLs) partition

The data which can be administered by users is stored in two partitions on the fixed disk, a currentdatabase partition which has the tables which are changed by on-line administration, and a backupdatabase partition which is a user-controlled copy of the current partition.

All of the on-line data administration commands affect the data in the current partition. The purposeof the backup partition is to provide the users with a means of rapidly restoring the database to aknown good state if there has been a problem while changing the current partition.

A full set of GPLs is stored on the fixed disk, in the GPL partition. There is an approved GPL and atrial GPL for each type of GPL in this set and a utility GPL, which has only an approved version.Copies of these GPLs are downloaded to the EAGLE 5 cards. The GPL provides each card with itsfunctionality. For example, the ss7ansi GPL provides MTP functionality for link interface modules(LIMs).

Measurement tables are organized as a single partition on the fixed disk. These tables are used asholding areas for the measurement counts.

Removable Media

The removable media is used with the E5-MCAP card portion of the E5-MASP in card locations 1113and 1115.

The removable media is used for two purposes.

To hold an off-line backup copy of the administered data and system GPLs

To hold a copy of the measurement tables

Because of the size of the data stored on the fixed disk drives on the E5-TDMs, a single removablemedia cannot store all of the data in the database, GPL and measurements partitions.

To use a removable media to hold the system data, it must be formatted for system data. To use aremovable media to hold measurements data, it must be formatted for measurements data. The EAGLE5 provides the user the ability to format a removable media for either of these purposes. A removablemedia can be formatted on the EAGLE 5 by using the format-disk command. More informationon the format-disk command can be found in Commands Manual. More information on the removablemedia drives can be found in Hardware.

Additional and preformatted removable media are available from the Customer Care Center.

This chapter also contains the procedures that are common to configuring either the Global TitleTranslation (GTT) feature or the Enhanced Global Title Translation (EGTT) feature. To find out aboutthe differences between Global Title Translation feature and the Enhanced Global Title Translationfeature, refer to the Upgrading from Global Title Translation (GTT) to Enhanced Global Title Translation(EGTT) section.

Global Title Translation Feature

The Global Title Translation (GTT) feature is designed for the signaling connection control part (SCCP)of the SS7 protocol. The EAGLE 5 ISS uses this feature to determine to which service database to sendthe query message when a Message Signaling Unit (MSU) enters the EAGLE 5 ISS and more informationis needed to route the MSU.

If an MSU enters the EAGLE 5 ISS and more information is needed to route the MSU, the SCCP of theSS7 protocol sends a query to a service database to obtain the information. The EAGLE 5 ISS uses theGTT feature for the SCCP to determine which service database to send the query messages to. Theseservice databases are also used to verify calling card numbers and credit card numbers. The servicedatabases are identified in the SS7 network by a point code and a subsystem number.

The GTT feature uses global title address (GTA) information to determine the destination of the MSU.The translation type (TT) indicates which global title translation table is used to determine the routingto a particular service database. Each global title translation table includes the point code (pc) of thenode containing the service database, the subsystem number (ssn) identifying the service database onthat node, and a routing indicator (ri). The routing indicator determines if further global title translationsare required. GTA and TT are contained in the called party address (CDPA) field of the MSU.



The global title translation feature changes the destination point code and the origination point codein the routing label. The global title information is not altered. The routing label is changed to indicatethe new destination point code retrieved from the global title translation and the origination pointcode is set to the EAGLE 5 ISSs point code.

Depending on how the global title translation data is configured, the routing indicator, the subsystemnumber, or the translation type in the called party address may also be changed by the global titletranslation feature. The gray shaded areas in Figure 2: ANSI and ITU MSU Fields affected by the GlobalTitle Translation Feature show the message fields affected by global title translation.



Figure 2: ANSI and ITU MSU Fields affected by the Global Title Translation Feature

The GTT feature allows global title translation on global title addresses of fixed length. There are threeoptional add-on features that enhance the functionality of the global title translation feature:



The Variable-length Global Title Translation feature (VGTT) feature allows global title translationon global title addresses of varying length. For more information on this feature, refer to theVariable-length Global Title Translation Feature section.

The Advanced GT Modification feature allows the EAGLE 5 ISS to modify other fields of an MSUin addition to the translation type when the MSU requires further global title translation and thetranslation type is to be replaced. For more information about this feature, refer to the AdvancedGT Modification Feature section.

The ANSI/ITU SCCP Conversion Feature converts SCCP messages between the ANSI and ITUformats. For more information about this feature, refer to the ANSI/ITU SCCP ConversionFeaturesection.

The EAGLE 5 ISS supports:

269,999, 400,000, or 1,000,000 global title translations. The system default is 269,999 global titletranslations. This quantity can be increased to 400,000 by enabling the feature access key for partnumber 893-0061-01, or to 1,000,000 by enabling the feature access key for part number 893-0061-10.For more information on enabling these feature access keys, refer to the Enabling the XGTT TableExpansion Feature procedure.

A maximum of 200,000 global title translations assigned to a translation type. 512 translation types, 256 translation types for ANSI MSUs, and 256 translation types for ITU MSUs. 1024, 2000, or 3000 remote point codes (mated applications), with up to 10 subsystems at each point

code. The system default is 1024 mated applications. This quantity can be increased to 2000 byenabling the feature access key for part number 893-0077-01, or to 3000 by enabling the featureaccess key for part number 893-0077-10. For more information on enabling these feature accesskeys, refer to the Enabling the XMAP Table Expansion Feature procedure.

The GTT feature requires one of the following cards:

Database Services Module (DSM) EAGLE 5-Service Module 4GB (E5-SM4G) E5-SM8G-B

For more information on these cards, refer to the Adding a Service Module procedure or to the HardwareManual - EAGLE 5 ISS.

Enhanced Global Title Translation Feature

The Enhanced Global Title Translation (EGTT) feature is designed for the signaling connection controlpart (SCCP) of the SS7 protocol. The EAGLE 5 ISS uses this feature to determine to which servicedatabase to send the query message when a Message Signaling Unit (MSU) enters the EAGLE 5 ISSand more information is needed to route the MSU.

If an MSU enters the EAGLE 5 ISS and more information is needed to route the MSU, the SCCP of theSS7 protocol sends a query to a service database to obtain the information. The EAGLE 5 ISS uses theEGTT feature for the SCCP to determine which service database to send the query messages to. Theservice databases are identified in the SS7 network by a point code and a subsystem number.

The EGTT feature uses global title information (GTI) to determine the destination of the MSU. TheEAGLE 5 ISS supports ANSI GTI format 2 and ITU GTI formats 2 and 4. The GTI is contained in thecalled party address (CDPA) field of the MSU. For ITU GTI format 4, the GTI is made up of theNumbering Plan (NP), Nature of Address Indicator (NAI), and Translation Type (TT) selectors.



The EGTT feature allows global title translation on global title addresses of fixed length. There arethree optional add-on features that enhance the functionality of the enhanced global title translationfeature:

The Variable-length Global Title Translation feature (VGTT), allows global title translation onglobal title addresses of varying length. For more information on this feature, refer to theVariable-length Global Title Translation Featuresection.

The Advanced GT Modification feature allows the EAGLE 5 ISS to modify other fields of an MSUin addition to the translation type when the MSU requires further global title translation and thetranslation type is to be replaced. For more information about this feature, refer to the sectionAdvanced GT Modification Feature.

The ANSI/ITU SCCP Conversion Feature converts SCCP messages between the ANSI and ITUformats. For more information about this feature, refer to the ANSI/ITU SCCP Conversion Featuresection.

The EGTT feature requires one of the following cards:

Database Services Module (DSM) EAGLE 5-Service Module 4GB (E5-SM4G) or E5-SM8G-B

For more information on these cards, refer to the Adding a Service Module procedure or to the HardwareManual - EAGLE 5 ISS.

Inclusion of SSN in the CDPA

When the obtained translation data contains a subsystem, the translated SSN is placed in the SCCPCDPA before the message is sent to the next node. However, when no SSN is present in the CDPA,this insertion applies to ITU messages only. ANSI messages that do not contain an SSN in the CDPAwill be rejected. The gray shaded areas in Figure 3: ANSI and ITU MSU Fields affected by the EnhancedGlobal Title Translation Feature show the message fields affected by enhanced global title translation.



Figure 3: ANSI and ITU MSU Fields affected by the Enhanced Global Title Translation Feature

Inclusion of OPC in the CGPA

When an ITU unitdata (UDT) message does not have a point code (PC) present in the CGPA, and theCGPA route indicator (RI) is set to Route on SSN, the EGTT feature will insert the OPC from the



Message Transfer Part (MTP) routing label into the CGPA before sending the message to the nextnode. The insertion does not apply to ANSI GTT processing.

Deletion of GT

The EGTT feature allows a Global Title (GT) in the CDPA to be deleted. For example, when the resultof a GTT performed by the EAGLE 5 ISS is set to Route on SSN, there may be some end nodes thatdo not want to receive the GT information in the CDPA. The enhancement provides an option on aper translation basis (for both ANSI and ITU) to allow the GT to be deleted(ent-gta:gta=000:ri=ssn:ccgt=yes command). The option is not valid when the result of theGT is the EAGLE 5 ISSs point code and local SSN.

New Commands

The EGTT feature introduces three new command sets:

GTTSET commands

ENT-GTTSET Enter GTT Set CHG-GTTSET Change GTT Set DLT-GTTSET Delete GTT Set RTRV-GTTSET Retrieve GTT Set

GTTSEL commands

ENT-GTTSEL Enter GTT Selector CHG-GTTSEL Change GTT Selector DLT-GTTSEL Delete GTT Selector RTRV-GTTSEL Retrieve GTT Selector

GTA commands

ENT-GTA Enter Global Title Address CHG-GTA Change Global Title Address DLT-GTA Delete Global Title Address RTRV-GTA Retrieve Global Title Address

GTT Set Commands

The GTT Set commands are used to provision new sets of GTTs, linking GTT Selector (-GTTSEL) andGlobal Title Address (-GTA) commands. This set of commands provides greater flexibility whenprovisioning the type of messages that require Global Title Translation. There are no SEAS equivalentsfor these commands.

GTT Selector Commands

The GTT Selector commands are used to provision new selectors for global title translation. Togetherwith the GTT Set commands, these commands replace the Translation Type (-TT) commands, providinggreater flexibility when provisioning the type of messages that require Global Title Translation. Thereare no SEAS equivalents for these commands.

GTA Commands

GTA commands are used to provision GTTs using the new selectors for GTT.



The EAGLE 5 ISS supports the following:

Maximum of 950 GTT sets. Maximum of 200,000 global title addresses per GTT set. 269,999, 400,000, or 1,000,000 global title addresses. The system default is 269,999 global title

addresses. This quantity can be increased to 400,000 by enabling the feature access key for partnumber 893-0061-01, or to 1,000,000 by enabling the feature access key for part number 893-0061-10.For more information on enabling these feature access keys, refer to the Enabling the XGTT TableExpansion Feature procedure.

Maximum of 100,000 GTT selectors. 1024, 2000, or 3000 remote point codes (mated applications), with up to 10 subsystems at each point

code. The system default is 1024 mated applications. This quantity can be increased to 2000 byenabling the feature access key for part number 893-0077-01, or to 3000 by enabling the featureaccess key for part number 893-0077-10. For more information on enabling these feature accesskeys, refer to the Enabling the XMAP Table Expansion Feature procedure.

Variable-length Global Title Translation Feature

A translation type or GTT set can contain global title addresses of varying length. If the Variable-lengthGlobal Title Translation (VGTT) feature is turned on with the chg-feat command, a translation typeor GTT set contain up to 10 different length global title addresses. If the Support for 16 GTT Lengthsin VGTT feature is enabled and turned on with the enable-ctrl-feat and chg-ctrl-featcommands, a translation type or GTT set can contain up to 16 different length global title addresses.The Support for 16 GTT Lengths in VGTT feature cannot be enabled and turned on unless the VGTTfeature is turned on.

The length of the global title address is only limited by the range of values for the gta and egtaparameters of either the ent-gtt and chg-gtt commands, if only the GTT feature is turned on, orthe ent-gta and chg-gta commands, if the EGTT feature is turned on, and by the global titleaddresses already assigned to the translation type or GTT set. The length of a global title address isfrom 1 to 21 digits, or 1 to 21 hexadecimal digits if the Hex Digit Support for GTT feature is enabled.The ndgt parameter of the ent-tt or ent-gttset command has no effect on the length of the globaltitle address and cannot be used. If the ndgt parameter is specified with the ent-tt or ent-gttsetcommand and the VGTT feature is on or the Support for 16 GTT Lengths in VGTT feature is enabledand turned on, the ent-tt or ent-gttset command is rejected with this message.
